Book Review: Protected by Lexi Blake


36325604

A second chance at first love 

Years before Wade Rycroft fell in love with Geneva Harris, the smartest girl in his class. The rodeo star and the shy academic made for an odd pair but their chemistry was undeniable. They made plans to get married after high school but when Genny left him standing in the rain, he joined the Army and vowed to leave that life behind. Genny married the town’s golden boy, and Wade knew that he couldn’t go home again. 

Could become the promise of a lifetime 

Fifteen years later, Wade returns to Broken Bend, Texas for his brother’s wedding and walks into a storm of scandal. Genny’s marriage has dissolved and the town has turned against her. But when someone tries to kill his old love, Wade can’t refuse to help her. In his years after the Army, he’s found his place in the world. His job at McKay-Taggart keeps happy and busy but something is missing. When he takes the job watching over Genny, he realizes what it is. 

As danger presses in, Wade must decide if he can forgive past sins or let the woman of his dreams walk into a nightmare…. 


I read for the adventure. I read for the passion. Protected takes it one step forwarded. There's a message of hope. The story tackles a tough subject that is often hidden in the shadows. I'm a huge fan of the Masters and Mercenaries series and this one kicks ass!

Protected is a second chance love story that gutted me. Wade Rycroft has returned to his home town after fifteen years for his brother's wedding. He had left for a better future but in return was betrayed by his once true love.

Fifteen years ago Geneva Harris sacrificed her future and now needs help from the man she had left behind.

The tears! The heartbreak! The angst! I loved every word. The authors did a fantastic job tugging on my heart strings. Get ready to be gutted. 5 Stars
